down here in the mesquite thorn country.. yes and no..
usually will work if enough is installed... and the tractor is used regularly... so that the slime is moved around the tire often.
Exceptions... will not work on a rip where tire flexes. And driving any tire low on air will rip the tube.. so DONT do it.
does allow the tire to go flat if you park it for a long time and the hole/s is on top... as the slime will dry up a bit and allow it to leak. We are talking lots and lots of thorns... SO... use the tractor at least once a week, OR... ALWAYS park it next to the air hose, so that you can air it up and quickly drive it around a bit to reseal all the holes. Sllime will need to be replaced or added too every couple of years or so, but still beats having several flats a day. Will even work on rear tires full of water but you will need at least two gallons or more of slime.
Some of kawasaki mules have so many thousands of thorns in them,, that the tire eventually splits and leaks all the slime out. This means either a tube if your lucky, or usually a new tire.
Using the aircraft tires on the front of the tractors with slime has allowed us to continue to work the tractors with minimal down time. These 28ply tires are used on the hay equipment as well.
farm rules... NEVER leave tractor in the field, you MUST park it next to the air hose, or YOU get to fix it when you come back and its flat.... even for lunch breaks.. And insult is.. the baler tire goes flat, pops the bead and you have to disassemble half the baler to remove the tire. Lesson quickly learned.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
